What is youth? U23 that is all old, Arsenal's youth storm, Arteta led the team during the U21 players have scored 28 Premier League goals, is the first in the whole of England in the same period.
In this round, embroiled captain Aubameyang and corrected the 00-year-old Martinelli, and as a result, he scored the first goal to break the deadlock. Of course, behind Martinelli's success, it is also necessary to thank Japanese defender Kenyo Fuan for his help.
Arteta's 235 formation:
Fuan Jianyang's movement has allowed more people in the frontcourt
No matter what your attitude towards Arteta, there is no denying that he did get guardiola's true biography. From the forward-looking of tactical inventions to the creativity of the use of full-backs, Arteta can be said to have played to the extreme.
Through the movement of Fu An Jianyang from full-back to right midfield, the four West Ham United front court were contained, exposing the problem of their two backs and the slow turn of the center-back. Martinelli can find many opportunities, and he must thank Fuan Jianyang for doing his job well.
As the team's right-back, Kenyang Fuan played more like a right midfielder for most of the game. Arsenal were 235 on the offensive end, with left-back Tierney and right winger Sakkara opening wide, while Kenyo Fuan formed a three-man lateral ball with a double back. The 3 men on the front line completed a large number of transpositions and counter-insertions, playing a rib offensive coordination.
When the attack and defense switched, Arsenal's double back quickly intercepted laterally, combined with a backlash of the three forwards. Fuan Jianyang needs to decide whether to form a midfield interception surface with the double back according to the situation, or to quickly fall into the defensive back line to protect the flank rear of the double center-back.
As you can see from the GIF, the person standing in the middle of the midfield is Fuan Jianyang. Moving to the flanks via Lacazette played a ribbed fit, and then the Frenchman's cross found the middle of the penalty area.
Erdegaard's ball gave Martinelli the opportunity to turn around and shoot, although it was blocked, but it was Lacazette who followed up with the shot, but it was still blocked by the opponent's suspected foul tackle.
As can be seen from the statistics, Arsenal's advantage in the whole game is huge, and it is no accident that the expected number of goals scored is 2.7 to 0.3, 9 times that of the opponent. They have been able to limit their opponents when switching between attack and defense, so they can constantly create new opportunities.
Martinelli's goal: the fruit of Arteta's tactics
So far in the new Premier League season, Arsenal's record at home is tied for first place with Manchester City. Arteta's team has brought a lot of joy to the fans in their own turf.
Arsenal achieved a great advantage in this game, that is, through the pressure brought by the 235 formation, the opponent was constantly pushed back. This time Xhaka had a good chance to shoot inside the box, and although blocked, it was Still Arsenal's second chance to attack on the periphery. Unfortunately Tierney's long-range shot bounced off the crossbar and failed to complete the goal.
Of course, West Ham don't want their formation to be compressed by Arsenal in a very flat area, and they must let the midfield line premise limit the three-man horizontal ball of Fuan Jianyang and Arsenal's double back. However, in this way, the gap between their back and the center-back will be exploited.
The common characteristics of the Premier League centre-backs are tall and strong, with good air defense capabilities, but they are relatively bulky and slow to turn (especially england homegrown centre-backs).
After west ham united midfielders, there were only two backs and two centre-backs in the middle. Arsenal let Lacazette play a forward role after the retreat, driving Martinelli to suddenly thrust forward, just on Dawson's soft ribs.
Martinelli's goal started with the premise that Fuan Yangjian went to the midfield to bring West Ham United's defensive formation (without the premise, it would be ribbed by arsenal's front trio, and then the outside Arsenal midfield trio harvested the ball for the second attack and put pressure again). Lacazette's ball then allowed Martinelli to score from the slow-turning Dawson flank and into the penalty area.
Can Arsenal make it to the top four? Arteta's side is not stable enough
Winning West Ham has allowed Arsenal to double the goal, not only to return the Hammers to the top four of the Premier League, but also to become the only team in the Premier League big 6 to remain unbeaten against West Ham this season.
The victory was also due to Arsenal suppressing the opponent, thus unleashing the team's talent on the offensive end. However, under Arsenal's formation system, there is actually only one full-time player on the wing. If the opponent's offensive and defensive conversion can break arsenal's first line of counterattack, it may also directly attack their weak center-back.
Fuan Jianyang has become a current regulator for Arsenal, but even good players have their own ceiling. It is no accident that Arsenal are now facing Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea without suspense.
As long as the opponent's offensive and defensive conversion ability exceeds the ceiling of Arsenal's counter-attack, then Arteta's team will collapse.
Conclusion
Can such an Arsenal team really reach the top four at the end of the season? Maybe it's going to be very difficult. As people learn more about Arsenal's system, more restraint will be found.
Arteta needs to be updated and upgraded in a timely manner to ensure the existing advantages and cover up the shortcomings of the team.
